I am in a Middle School, and we print a copy of all over-dues, to post on the wall in various locations, each morning. Students who have over-dues that are over a week old are sent a daily notice requiring them to come to the library for lunch detention each day until the book is returned or paid for. If they pay for a book, then find it at a later date, we return their money. This was the procedure that was in place when I came here two years ago, and it seems to be working. We had no outstanding books at the end of the year last year, and our circulation has not slowed down at all.

Sometimes books actually come back as a result of my efforts. We don't charge fines, so students don't feel any obligation to return materials in a timely fashion. -- David Lininger, kb0zke, MS/HS librarian Hickory County R-1 Schools Urbana, MO 65767 417-993-4226 tss003 at mail.connect.more.net -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
